Ge Xiaohua is not clear about the impact of Guixi TV's replay of "The Super Blacksmith" for the time being, and he has not understood the ratings.

When Ge Xiaohua learned that John was going to Kyoto, he made an appointment to fly to the United States and met with John and others, mixed into the setting team, acted as a staff member, and then flew from the United States to the RB. Although it was a little troublesome, it was safe to do so because if you fly to the RB directly, it was not familiar with the place. If people knew about it, it would make others think that Ge Xiaohua had another purpose. The so-called peers were enemies. If Ge Xiaohua, as a blacksmith, entered this way, he would probably be kicked out, but it would be different with John. In order to avoid trouble, it would be very rational to get involved in John's shooting team.

Along the way, John introduced the culture and history of Kyoto. Simply put, Kyoto was the capital of RB before, also known as Xijing, which is the cradle of RB's culture, which is an international tourist destination. It is still very famous in the world.

Ge Xiaohua didn't expect that he hadn't had the chance to come to RB, and he used the method of visiting and learning. This has to be said that many things in the world are hard to explain clearly.

Because he was mixed in, he was responsible for his own transportation, accommodation and food. Ge Xiaohua spent a lot of money on this trip, but for Ge Xiaohua now, it was a small amount. He had more than two million yuan on his card, and spending tens of thousands of yuan was nothing here. The consumption concept has changed greatly. He felt that this gain could make his iron-striking skills a higher level and prepare for the next American Forging Master Championship "Thousands of Temperament" and the second episode of "Extraordinary Blacksmith".

Ge Xiaohua stayed in the hotel and didn't leave the house and didn't know what to do, so he had to play with his mobile phone. He was waiting for John's notice and probably had to arrange some things.

During the whole day in the hotel, John came over early in the morning and called someone, saying that there was a shooting task. Ge Xiaohua's task was to get the equipment, which was like a field staff member. However, in order to learn advanced forging technology, he observed the entire process of RB's forging samurai swords at close range, which was more memorable than watching on TV.

Ge Xiaohua sat on the Toyota Domino, and was bumpy all the way. He didn't know where to go. As a soldier who was mixed in, he had no authority and could only go deep into the RB hinterland with the crew. Because he was a "bastard", he had little communication with the team. Except for John, no one knew much. He came to learn, so he tried to focus on being low-key.

It was hard for Ge Xiaohua to climb mountains and cross ridges along the way. In his opinion, RB is not a small place, why did he drive so far? Where did he go to shoot?

When Ge Xiaohua came down, what was presented to him was a mountainous area, with several old men digging ore on the mountain.

“Where is this place?”

"Shiko Prefecture, the only place for iron ore production in RB."

A videographer who was with Ge Xiaohua said that he then started working and followed the filming team to take pictures of the old man digging iron ore.

"RB people with scarce mineral resources still have to mine under such conditions..." Ge Xiaohua looked at the old people hanging on the cliff just to mine a piece of iron ore. In comparison, Ge Xiaohua could pick up some good-quality iron ore just by walking to the 100,000 mountains. He felt that he was so happy in China, and the richness of resources exceeded the imagination of RB people.

"But they cherish the hard-earned resources. It is probably because iron ore is hard-earned, so they will be more attentive when forging?" Ge Xiaohua saw the old man mining iron ore, and was a little worried about their safety, but the shooting was in progress, so Ge ​​Xiaohua couldn't break in.

After taking pictures for an hour, the craftsmen who came to latte ore transported these to a special smelting site.

When the scene of the smelting began, Ge Xiaohua didn't know Japanese, but judging from the respect of other craftsmen, an old man who was about seventy years old should be a master of the smelting place.

The collected iron ore will be made with RB's unique smelting tool bellows. There is a blower on one side of this furnace. By blowing the air, it is key to increase the temperature of the furnace fire. Therefore, it is necessary to keep your eyes open and without the help of electronic equipment and machinery. Everything depends on the price of eyes! Observe the flame color of the furnace fire to determine whether the smelting temperature is sufficient and whether the smelting can be successful. Temperature is a crucial part.

In fact, this is similar to the furnace of Ge Xiaohua's Blacksmith Shop, but this furnace adopts a rectangular shape and is combined with blowing equipment.

In addition to observing the color of the flame, the smelter will also take advantage of the momentum to put in iron sand and smel out the best steel!

The master did not close his eyes for three days and three nights. At the age of 70, he was able to work for so long in the high temperature, which made Ge Xiaohua, an outsider, admire him very much.

"He always adds iron sand every time. If he is slower, the best steel produced will be less. The resource-scarce RB cannot tolerate a slight waste, and even if he sacrifices his health, he will be willing to do so!" Ge Xiaohua has heard that RB people are basically workaholics. The domestic environment of RB has made everyone give their all, otherwise they may be eliminated. This is why 70-year-olds work so hard?

Through continuous smelting for three days and three nights, these refined steel cannot be used for making samurai swords. They must be carefully selected and selected for the best steel to make samurai swords. The second-class ones are used for making kitchen utensils, tableware, etc.

This carefully selected steel is called "Yugang". Only this kind of fine steel is qualified to be a samurai sword!

"Starting from the raw materials, this is the basis of a qualified samurai sword." Ge Xiaohua learned a lot from the hardships of this smelting. He admired the master named Kihara Izumi very much. It was because of his current identity, so it was inconvenient to contact him. Moreover, he could not understand the language. Although he passed the English level, Japanese was based on no foundation, and it was not easy to disturb the shooting of John's filming team.

The shooting of mining and smelting ended, and the filming team took a day off, because the forging will be carried out in Kyoto, and it will take some time to prepare. It is said that before the forging, there are many ritual things. In RB, forging a samurai sword is very sacred and cannot tolerate any carelessness or blasphemy.

"Watson, I have been to Kyoto for a few days. You have been in the hotel for a long time and it's boring. Today I'll take you out for a walk. I've learned art forging in Kyoto and I'm quite familiar with it."

"OK."
